Has anyone ever ran into a Popeye real tobacco pipe?
My dad found one, but neither he, nor I, have been able to find out any additonal information as to where it came from (ie. what company manufactured it, and so fourth). Has anyone ever heard of this (or own one themselves?!). Any help or guidance would be great!
It's not a corn-cob pipe, it's an actual pipe that would be used in regular tobacco use.
New info: the pipe is actually in the shape of Popeye's head!
It is perceived that Popeye smokes a corn cob pipe. Such pipes are still manufactured by Missouri Meerschaum located in Washington Missouri. Contrary to what non-pipe smokers may think, corn cob pipes are "real" pipes and are widely used worldwide.
If the pipe you are wondering about is made from briar, it could be from any number of manufacturers worldwide. They're commonly referred to as a "No-Name Briar" and can come in many shapes and sizes.
you're looking for just a basic corn cob pipe. Unless you want the one Robin Williams used for the movie in which case try ebay
